Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. We traveled with two kids one being a toddler and the staff were very accommodative and went out of their way to make our stay an enjoyable one. The Hurulu eco park safari and bird walk organized by the hotel was an excellent experience. The hotels Naturalist Pramod was very knowledgeable and professional. The information he provided added more value to our experience. We were fortunate enough to spot many elephants because of our experienced safari jeep drivers. The food here is delicious and fresh! And the best part is that most of the produce are sourced from the hotels organic garden. We thoroughly enjoyed the Sri Lankan rice and curry menu. Special mention, Shan the hotel manager was very attentive, friendly and efficient. The catamaran ride on the lake is a must, its a slow and relaxing ride that will you a chance to admire the scenery and observe the wildlife. Tip- The best time to visit the lake is in the early morning or the late afternoon, when the birds are more active.
